Angola – Processing Disruption

Update: Angola, Empresa Nacional de Correios e Telégrafos de Angola (ENCTA), wishes to inform that all postal services are expected to return to normal from Wednesday, 28 January 2026.   ENCTA thanks all for their understanding.

Update: Angola, Empresa Nacional de Correios e Telégrafos de Angola (ENCTA), wishes to inform that postal operations in Angola will be temporarily affected by a public administrative suspension decreed by the provincial government of Luanda for 24 and 25 November 2025 in connection with the seventh African Union–European Union Summit. Enhanced security measures and severe road access restrictions will be in place throughout the province of Luanda during this period, which will have a direct impact on logistics, mobility and postal operations. Designated operators are requested to note that: * all outbound international postal dispatches will be suspended on 24 and 25 November, and are scheduled to resume on 26 November 2025; * ENCTA will continue to receive inbound international mail. However, delays in processing, customs clearance and delivery may occur owing to restricted operational access and workforce limitations. The suspension applies to: * ordinary and registered international letter-post; * postal parcels; * EMS and priority items; * inter-operator international dispatches routed through logistics hubs in Luanda. During the suspension, only essential services operating on regulated shift basis may remain active, where feasible and depending on local authority protocols. ENCTA will continue to liaise closely with the UPU and designated operators to ensure operational transparency and provide timely updates until full service is resumed. ENCTA thanks all for their understanding and cooperation.
